ID: 3 stills from A Bullet for Baldwin (1956)
-
Alfred Hitchremoved says “I’ve just come into possession of a cure for fascism”
-
He sets some bullets on his desk and says “they come in capsule form. For best results, they must be taken internally.”
-
He holds up a revolver and says “here is the handy applicator.”
Oh ok, cool, so we’re on the same page lol
E: I guess I’m just too used to libs suggesting boycotting individual companies as a solution to our problems…
Time for people to learn how to make and use molotovs again.
Everyone worried about paying their bills and not securing their freedom, forgetting peaceful protests didn’t stop fascism the previous times.
This of course is a feature, not a bug.
It’s why building solidarity and community support is essential - we need to help each other out (to enable people to make and put those molotovs to good use we also need people to help feed, help babysit, help educate, help propagandise, help as a medic, help maintain safe houses and community centres, help support and defend those unable to participate in any of the other activities due to age or disability, and so on and so on) so that we can collectively become more powerful.
We need a good poster/sticker to start pasting everywhere.
I’m down to educate, and propagandise.
Back when I was more able to leave the house I used to go stickering quite a lot, it’s a great way to spread the word, and signal to other marginalised people that they’re not alone! Now I mostly stick to educating folks online to the best of my ability.
It’s been a while, but I had a very quick look and there are some independent places where you can get stickers and posters:

As for educational resources, the anarchist library is a treasure trove, there are also recent links like this and this that have come up on my feed and seem like great places to start!
Well I’m not gonna say this won’t demand warmed conflict.
But I do want to note that I don’t think the only options can be harmed conflict or an ineffective boycott of a multinational conglomerate.
There has to be other ways. And I’ve actually thought of several, but nothing so simple I could propose it in a single sentence and usually when I get into talking about it the some people get heated up and I’m tired of the same fights over and over. It’s hard to fight alone, but I seriously think the internet would be a more powerful tool in the larger picture than personal firearms. Or at least, I very much hope so.
But life has had a way of doing exactly the opposite of my wishes.
So.
Fuck…
